Hello,  
I have a sensu cookbook which installs sensu-server, rabbitmq, uchiwa etc.

I want to integrate graphite for graphical dashboard for sensu.  
What is the best possible way for this ?

Is there any cookbook ?

Several guides exists, e.g. [https://blog.powerupcloud.com/step-by-step-install-and-configure-sensu-grafana-9cedca333396](https://blog.powerupcloud.com/step-by-step-install-and-configure-sensu-grafana-9cedca333396)

(It is possible to feed it into Graphite using AMQP as well…)

I have this config for that:

{

“handlers”: {

“graphite”: {

“mutator”: “only\_check\_output”,

“type”: “transport”,

“pipe”: {

“type”: “topic”,

“name”: “metrics”,

“options”: {

“durable”: “true”

}

}

}

}

}

(Graphite (Carbon actually) then also need to be configured to obtain the metrics from the “metrics” topic)

That seems to be done in my case with these settings in carbon.conf (I inherited the setup and is not completely familiar with all the details…)

ENABLE\_AMQP = True

AMQP\_VERBOSE = True

AMQP\_HOST =

AMQP\_PORT = 5672

AMQP\_VHOST = /sensu

AMQP\_USER = sensu

AMQP\_PASSWORD =

AMQP\_EXCHANGE = metrics

AMQP\_METRIC\_NAME\_IN\_BODY = True
